Started the county tops project today. Conveniently, highest points in Sligo and Leitrim are on same hill! Trosc Mór. 647m.

Insightful and enjoyable lecture from V.S. Subrahmanian at UCC last evening, exploring ways that AI can promote global security. Such an engaging speaker that made technical aspects accessible and understandable. Lots to think about for my own work on emerging tech and law enforcement.

Rishi Sunak has offered his resignation to The King but Keir Starmer has yet to be appointed as Prime Minister, so who's in charge? Me.

County peak #3 Carrauntoohil (bonus for highest mt in Ireland). Took the interesting way down. All of the weather conditions.

A few thoughts from me on how the European Union's Artificial Intelligence Act could be a foundation for needed reform in New Zealand.

Just published on EUR-Lex: the 'Artificial Intelligence Act’ or ‘the AI Act’. The new law aims to foster the development and uptake of safe and trustworthy AI systems in the EU. It enters into effect on: 1 August. 🤖 europa.eu/!HgkHf3 #DigitalEU #AIAct

Had to be the Shining tonight in honour of #ShellyDuvall. One of the best movies ever.

Many thanks to the Institute for Ethics in Artificial Intelligence-TUM for bringing a diverse group of experts together yesterday in Munich to discuss #AI and #humanrights

From Victoria University – Opinion: Abusers used all the bureaucratic pressures they could on those victims-survivors brave enough to take them on. We must protect the victims, restore their spirit and mana, and provide a sense of justice. newsroom.co.nz/2024/07/24/the…

Gutted for the Irish women, but thankfully I have two citizenships so can celebrate this!

MNÁSOME 💚 Bonn óir buaite ag Kellie Harrington s'againne 🥇🇮🇪🙌🏻

County peaks project #4 and #5. Another two for one deal- Cuilcagh 666m, Cavan and Fermanagh, and also the border with NI so we had lunch outside the EU!

County peak #6. Errigal, Donegal. 751vm. Short but steep. Amazing views. Excellent recent work to protect the mountain with stone steps and drainage.

Busy day on the county peaks project on the drive home from Dunfaghny. Roscommon (seltanasaggart SE), Longford (Cairn Hill) and Arderin (Laois & Offaly). None would merit a special trip but saw a lot of the country. 10/32 done now.
